I need A heart that is resilient Faith that never wavers Coffee and hopeful conversation With friends who carry tissue
I need moments of intoxicating laughter And uninterrupted normalcy Family with praying hands And legs that don’t bend with the wind
I need strong shoulders to lean on And people who ignore the differences People who celebrate the little things And easily lose track of time
I need plans that aren’t cemented And a calendar with extra days A boss who’s willing to work with me A husband who’s willing to share
I need intuition that’s fool proof A certainty that challenges Any expert or evaluator Who dare stand in our way
I need tear ducts that don’t have filters Eyes that don’t betray me Pillows that keep secrets And pages to remind me
That I am still the same me Just now, with so much more to need With so much more to lose And a little one to live for

Thoughts of the end -so through a pen I share rawfully honest thoughts. Thoughts about my relationship with chronic pain. Thoughts about the fantasies of romantic love , and the agony when this illusion disappears. The goal is to learn from my own journey through words.
Meet Jax a funny, kind, and smart preschooler who was a micro-preemie born at 23 weeks.
